Instead of destroying the cat after the program is over, Dr. Centerwall looked for a suitable home for his cat. Because Ms. Sudgen has a genuine interest in cultivating Asian leopard hybrids, choosing not to take all the cats, but instead focusing on the cats that show the tendency of domestic temperament along with the desired pattern of spotting.

For a while, Ms. Sudgen has started her first experiment in cat hybridization while studying genetics at UC Davis in the 1940s. When given the opportunity to work with the Asian Centerwall Asia leopard and their hybrids, he understood it enthusiastically, and though Dr. Centerwall fully supports Ms business. Sudgen, the same can not be said for the cool community of cats.

Feeling that either pure Mau, Burmese or Abyssinian breeds were genetically strong enough, he opened the web wider, and in 1982 his patience paid off when a New Delhi Zoo curator, in India, pointed him to a leopard of a street cat who lived alone in exhibit rhinos at the zoo.

However, the aversion to breeding persists in some quarters.
